There Is No Such Thing As False Hope
I hate it when doctors say they don’t want to give you “false hope”.
Hope is hope. There is NOTHING false about it.
Hope is tenuous, it’s not definitive.
Hope is like knowing there is something out there, but it’s just out of reach.
When we’re on a healing journey, the thing we want to be aiming for, the thing that guides our way to healing, is more powerful than any medication, supplement or treatment.
It’s BELIEF.
Belief that healing is possible.
The mind will do its darnedest to disavow us. It’s trying to keep us safe from harm by pulling us back from the ledge.
What the mind can’t see though, is that the ledge might actually lead to something beautiful.
That possibility only becomes visible when we move beyond the darkness of where we’re standing. But first we have to get ourselves onto the ledge and trust that we’ll be okay.
Because if we can hold onto that trust, even just a little, something starts to change.
The mind will put hurdles and hazards in the way to stop us stepping out into the abyss. That’s what minds do.
To deal with this, we just have to gently return to the body and remind it that it is safe.
Not as a one-time fix.
As a gentle reminding.
Over and over again.
Every time fear creeps in and the inner chatter starts telling us this is dangerous.
When we feel under threat, the nervous system moves into protection. When we feel safe, it moves towards repair, connection and restoration.
Something I realised was that when I was in fear, I would panic-buy supplements or equipment because I thought they would bring me closer to health and safety.
Really, all it did was reinforce the feeling of danger.
Safety came from within.
It was always there.
It is always there.
The thing is, years of conditioning, for one reason or another, have etched thought patterns into us that once kept us safe.
But as adults, those same patterns can keep us stuck. And if anything, they can move us further away from the life we want to create.
Healing is beautiful because we get to unpack these stuck patterns and create new, healthier ones that feed our soul and support our body.
At first it’s uncomfortable.
At first it feels wrong.
But with repetition it becomes second nature.
It becomes who we are.
A new and updated version of ourselves.
Like updating an old operating system, it can feel a bit glitchy at first, but eventually the new system settles in and we forget we ever ran the old one.
Sending lots of love 💗
